I had hoped that my Republican colleagues would bring this bill. a clean bill. to the floor. instead. we have more politics as usual. A bill that would actually be signed into law by the President is what this country needs. however. what we have is not that case today. It is unfortunate and extremely upsetting that the Republicans are now threatening to shut down the Department of Homeland Security. endangering the security of our entire country and appeasing the most extreme antiimmigration reform fringes of their party. This is simply politics over country and should not be a part of the debate surrounding our critically important appropriations bills for Homeland Security. The five amendments that the Republicans plan to attach to the bipartisan Homeland Security bill represent some of the most extreme antiimmigration legislation. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to reject these amendments. reject this partisan gamesmanship that threatens our national security. and call on the majority to vote on and pass the original version of H.R. 240.
